AKRON, Ohio — A University of Akron student learned his fate for fatally stabbing his roommate at their apartment after an alcohol-fueled argument about fast food.

Summit County Common Pleas Judge Mary Margaret Rowlands sentenced 23-year-old Kendal Scheid, of Norwalk, to three years. He will, pending no discipline issues while behind bars, be eligible for judicial release in six months.

Scheid earlier pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the death of 23-year-old Duncan Unternaher, of Newark.

Police said the friends were drunk when they got into an argument about fast food they were eating at their off-campus apartment last December.
